Hi ,
cork may work better than a soil. I`ve been trying it for two months. I keep the animals in tubes with shallow water (about one inch) some floating plants and cork bark islands. I also tried to cover the islands witch moss but it doesn`t seem to be necessary when the tube is stored in a dark place. Feeding is quite easy. I just place small batches of tubifex on land parts . The animals are not very timid and take them very readily. They prefer to stay on land. Sometimes I see some of them in the water.
